Epilepsy is important to me because my niece is an epileptic.
Epilepsy is most common in young children and the elderly.
There are many types of epilepsy. They vary from ages to causes.
Most cases do not have a cause.
Some common causes are tumors, abnormal structure of the brain, and lack of oxygen at birth.
An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a devise that measures the electrical activity of the brain, and helps diagnose seizures, epilepsy, and other mental disorders.
A neurologist is a doctor that studies the brain, and reads the neurological tests.
Most cases of epilepsy are controlled with one or two medications, but most of them have side effects. (fear, drowsiness, and delayed development etc.)
